Looking back now I see that my symptoms started at about 20 weeks. I was quickly gaining weight and getting puffy everywhere but I thought that was just par for the course.  At about 24 weeks I noticed my feet were fat when I woke up in the morning and hurt like hell which I knew was a bad sign but denial can be pretty powerful so once again I figured it was no big deal.  By 25 weeks I failed my first glucose test and had to lay on my left side at my doctor
